In order to improve the maintenance quality and management efficiency of public street trees, the New Taipei City Landscaping Office integrated tree resources in 29 districts of New Taipei City and established the "New Taipei City Forest - Tree System Operation Platform" to facilitate future municipal planning through the analysis and application of big data. For reference, the platform is expected to be launched in June, and after the launch, the platform functions will be strengthened depending on the feedback situation.
According to the Landscaping Office, there are 80,000 trees and 1,102 precious trees in New Taipei City. In the past, the district offices organized the information on street trees in their respective jurisdictions. The inspection and maintenance of manufacturers was reported by paper, photos or LINE communication. As long as there is a change in personnel, data and information are easily lost, and there is a lack of a platform to integrate the city's tree management.
The construction of "Forest of New Taipei City - Tree System Operation Platform" can not only track the growth of trees in the whole city, but also the tree management personnel of the Landscaping Office and the district office can also use the "Smart Jurisdiction Dispatch" function to automatically assign them to various maintenance companies for inspections , managers can grasp the dynamics of manufacturer inspections from the platform.
During on-site maintenance inspections, manufacturers can report the status of trees in real time through their mobile devices. In the future, they can analyze the maintenance data over the years to assist managers in judging the growth suitability of trees in each jurisdiction, and implement strategies such as tree planting or habitat improvement for the area. A vision for tree conservation.
The Landscape Office said that as the data from the street tree database accumulates more and more, the city government can use big data analysis to prescribe the right medicine to know which side has fewer trees. Which trees are not suitable for planting? Where there is a need to increase the amount of greenery, it will help the district office and management unit to make policy decisions and observe tree habitats.
